Being a 30 year old Japanese game fanatic is difficult, shameful and just wrong at times. Yes I am a 30+ year old Pokemon trainer; I have been playing since release, and make no apologies for my absolutely deadly battling style. Yes that's my attraction: the elemental, turn-based strategy that is wifi enabled Pokemon fights. With over 493 different varieties comes a lot of diversity in party and stratagem. The problem is being a Japanese company, Nintendo makes you jump through all sorts of "public" hoops to obtain the really rare legendaries we all like to call each other names over. This presents a problem for the thirty year old crowd, Hell the twenty year olds too. Without some kid to borrow I am often seen as a creep or weirdo hanging around these events building my rares. Luckily the process to speed distribution up has also provided a loop hole for us closeted, battle hardened, pokemon trainers, enter the Mystery Gift system!
Yes! A wireless transport protocol that Nintendo now rolls out to events so that all rare trading/obtainment is done via wireless, in-game NPCs! Now us creeps, to whom could care less about the cute factor, can build our deadly parties remotely from the parking lots of event sites like the one starting today at GameStop! Thank you Nintendo from all of us too old to play your offerings, for providing us with alternative capture methods! So to all of you either too old, or not fit for society trainers, drive near the proposed event locations and the Mystery Gift will be like a beacon of hope for all! My video of remote pokemon grabbing follows, further proof of the raw awesomeness that is wireless Pokemon hacking. Yes I'm telling the truth because who would make up something this un-street-credful?
Event details:
Between January 30th and February 14th, head to participating GameStop locations in the United States to receive a unique Shiny Pichu. This Shiny Pichu is a deeper yellow color than most Pichu, and it has bright red cheeks, much like its famous evolved form, Pikachu!
This Shiny Pichu has four awesome moves, including one that a typical Pichu can’t learn. The Charge move boosts the power of of the Electric move it uses next. Volt Tackle is a powerful Electric-type strike that also causes 1/3 the damage to Pichu as the foe received. Endure braces Pichu against a knock-out attack, leaving it with 1 HP. And Endeavor, which is not available to typical Pichu, does enough damage to the opponent to give it and Pichu the same number of HP. It’s a very powerful move, especially when combined with Endure to bring your opponent down to 1 HP! Pichu is also carrying an Everstone to prevent it from evolving.
Shiny Pichu holds even more secrets if you transfer the Pokémon to either Pokémon™ HeartGold or SoulSilver Version, launching March 14th. Once you’ve traded Shiny Pichu, take it to Ilex Forest to meet Spiky-eared Pichu, the one featured in the recent movie, Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life!
Be sure to visit your local GameStop store between January 30th and February 14th to get this one-of-a-kind Pichu!
